To prepare her heart for the coming of Jesus, Mother Mary would intricately look at everything with a sense of gratitude. In everything that is brought into our lives, there is a blessing. Mother Mary would carefully unwrap the layers of perception and find the true meaning and purpose ~ the true gift. Blessings can be found in the passerby who offers a smile, in the glitter of the snow in the trees, and in the undesired circumstance with a lesson. Gratitude is the key to happiness, contentment and opens the flood gates for abundance to flow to you. What are you most thankful for today?Gratitude
